Jeff you were totally spot on on your podcast lately when you were talking about a windows to linux tipping point. I still use windows on my ARM laptop out of necessity but I switched my gaming PC to Manjaro the other week and have no regrets. Windows takes too much effort to unfuck now.

Something like 30% is AI code now. That or it's someone's kink to keep making windows as terrible as possible

Recent events makes it really seem like they are indeed slop coding.

Yeah. Hence why i returned back to win10 and it has been smooth ever since. Support lasts until 2032 so by then I hope SteamOS has cornered the market so i can play my favorite games in Linux 🫣

ngl i think they are ive been putting off updates for so long because every week i feel like i see someone just saying some update broke something

And this is exactly why I enabled ESU for W10 and dual boot with Linux Mint~

ah yeah, i do. that’s a bummer. hopefully soon as the ecosystem grows, so does the support base!

Santa gaben has the opportunity to do the funniest thing, and he really really should.

forget about it Jake, its Microsoft

OH and since they fired all the institutional knowledge, they probably also killed their ability to train newbies up. Same as it ever was.

yea they are, I'm not sure I'm ready for Linux but the second my computer gets massively debilitated by Windows I'm gonna switch probably.

Gross incompetence or something sinister. Maybe both.

Make the switch to daily drive Linux(with me). Planning on going dual boot tomorrow with nobara 👀

the xbox website was not functional for me trying to sign in to get into the kiln beta bsky.app/profile/jdmh...

i work in IT at a place with 4000+ windows computers and there is a reason we are still on 23h2

They on insiders to do testing on Windows preview builds. Maybe these people are tired of messing around testing the OS and aren't showing up for insider builds anymore? I'm curious to know the balance. MS reduced internal QA when insider started. Maybe a result of MS mandating AI use in daily work?

I have very strong suspicions it was a Windows 11 update that fucked my hard drive and made me lose a bunch of work (but my bad for not backing up regularly). I am mostly Linux on main now. It hasn't been bad, but it has not been a 1-for-1 replacement from the Windows environment in everything.

@jeffgerstmann.com Yup. Slopya Nadella bragged almost a year ago that as much as 30% of Microslop's code was vibecoded: https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/29/microsoft-ceo-says-up-to-30-of-the-companys-code-was-written-by-ai/

ah i see your problem... youre using windows

yes. all software is stochastic at this point, instead of deterministic. and it’s a remarkably bad thing.

What do you mean now? Microsoft has been for at least six years.

Satya Nadella said they're using AI to run code, so probably.

Not only are they slop coding it, they got rid of their QA team and expect users to do quality control.

They're vibe coding all right, and the vibes? They're bad lol

This must spread to all.

Yes. Nobody at MS seems to give a shit about Windows at all anymore. Its a joke.

Yes they have been for a while now. I'm not even joking. I think it was halfway through last year we first started hearing about it.

Yes

Also, I'm pretty sure their constant pseudo-update nags on Windows 10 are an attempt to effectively brick them. Why do you keep bugging me? You've already determined my laptop can't be upgraded to 11.

I am just going to leave this here www.theverge.com/tech/858910/...

Yes. They’ve said that 30% of their codebase is written by AI now. And they’ve not had QA since windows 10 started going out of style.

Sometimes real CoPilots show up drunk to work so it makes sense!

Clippy died for this

they must be. huge opportunity for the SteamOS version of linux to make a full and proper takeover. windows has been too slow and bloated for a long time now anyway.

I mean when your CEO says approximately 30% of your code is being written by AI, I assume that's 30% of *all* coding projects including the already extremely volatile OS.

Still haven't updated to 25H2

Time for Linux Jeff.

They have been for a while now

And if you use dark mode the bastard will randomly flashbang you.

Its actually the year of the Linux desktop, for reals this time.

yes www.theverge.com/news/658584/...
